PS4: Release Date and More Console Reveals at Gamescom 2013

The PS4 will release on November 15, 2013 (US) and November 29, 2013 (UK). It will release in 32 countries.

Sony had a great showing at this year’s E3. They made sure to focus on its next-generation console, the PS4, and its upcoming line of video games.

The next big gaming event for the summer, Gamescom 2013, will be the next industry showcase that Sony will undoubtedly make another strong showing at. There’s a report that points to Sony looking to reveal some big news at Gamescom 2013 (August 21-25, 2013), which may include the official release date of the PS4.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO Jim Ryan did an interview with Gamereactor and hinted at Sony’s plans for the German video game trade show:

There’s a lot [of games] coming. I’m sure you heard from Shuhei [Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios] that he has, just from his studios, 30 games in development. 20 are going to ship within the first year of the console’s life and of those 12 are new IPs, so there’s a lot going on. It’s just that we need to keep stuff back. We’ve got Gamescom for us Europeans and we need something to show at Gamescom.
